MCA Compliance Requirements
MCA Compliance Requirements (2025)
Your definitive 50-state playbook for every sales-based-financing rule, disclosure, and filing deadline.
Request a DemoWhy this matters: “MCA Compliance Requirements” is no longer a buzz-phrase—it’s a survival strategy. 2025 ushers in new disclosure mandates, registration rules, and annual-report deadlines layered atop federal obligations.
This evergreen guide breaks down:
- Nation-wide MCA compliance requirements that apply in every state;
- A bullet list of each state’s current rule set (new 2025 items flagged);
- The big 2025 changes you can’t ignore; and
- How LendSaaS automates disclosures, UCC filings, annual reports, and more.
1 | Nation-wide MCA Compliance Requirements
Truth-in-Lending-style Transparency
Regulators increasingly shoe-horn MCAs into TILA-like analysis. Clear, up-front cost-of-capital summaries reduce UDAP exposure.
FTC Unfair / Deceptive Acts (UDAP)
The FTC can—and does—step in when marketing, broker splits, or collections cross the line.
BSA / AML & Know-Your-Customer
Even non-bank funders need robust AML programs, including SAR filing when suspicious.
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC-1) Filings
Perfect your security interest, file continuations every five years, and terminate liens on payoff.
Marketing Compliance (TCPA & CAN-SPAM)
Cold-texting merchants without consent? Expect $500–$1,500 per infraction.
